Slacker, Re: Google has bigger plans, and Snips >>> “ The company has said it wants to make mobile networks more open, so that consumers can use any Internet service and application and move their handsets between carriers without onerous restrictions. .... Carriers such as Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, say they guard their networks closely to provide high-quality phone and Internet service and protect consumers from security breaches and invasions of privacy.” <<<<<<<<<<<<< As a Verizon customer I’m confused with the above- My Treo with Microsoft Mobile allows me to access most all URLs that I can on my home PC, without restrictions except for not having some software apps that I haven’t downloaded (Adobe, etc,). When I have a strong signal, web pages such as SI load very quickly with just EV-DO. I’m sure with EV-DO rev A, and browser improvements it will only get better. Note- I could not access the QCOM analyst day webcast, apparently need to load a separate app for that.
